A sex abuse investigation involving a former Bronx priest has been quietly closed with no charges filed, the Daily News has learned.

Police sources said no criminal charges will be brought against the Rev. Anthony Giuliano, who had been accused of molesting a 15-year-old boy at Holy Rosary Church in Baychester in the 1980s.

“All the leads in the investigation were exhausted,” a police source said. “It was not determined that a crime had taken place.”

Even if detectives found enough evidence to warrant charges, Giuliano couldn’t be prosecuted because of the statute of limitations on child sex abuse cases in New York — meaning the alleged crime committed by the man of the cloth would forever go unpunished.

Until the review is done, Giuliano is prohibited from working as a priest, Zwilling said.

Giuliano hung up on a reporter when reached for comment Thursday. His alleged victim also did not return a call for comment.

So far, seven men abused by priests have been paid nearly $2 million total through a settlement program founded by Timothy Cardinal Dolan. The abuse survivors were all part of phase one of the settlement program, which was restricted to victims who had made previously documented allegations of abuse to the archdiocese. Phase two, which is open to anyone who was allegedly abused as a child by a priest or deacon in the Archdiocese of New York, is underway and has a July 31 deadline.
